And each had sunk down in deadly

The summer attire of the London
nasher is described as follows: A
black coat, white hat with black
band, flaunel bags (trousers), shoes
and no wsistcost. Are any Of the
brotherhood on this side Of the water
prepared to follow
1t would not be very consoling to
the large number Of young men who
sport the decollete vest, If they
should be. told that it is not at all
the fashion. A mere caprice Of New
York sporting men to display their
diamond pins has resulted in the
wearing Of garment that is cut from
q small opening to full dress proper
lions. In some cases extremists have
worn evening vests. So that those
who are indulging in "the style" may
now become aware that it was not set
by the fashion moulders. A glance
ut any Of the fashion plates for the
season will convince the nest skepti-
cal that the low cut vest is not recog-
nized as good form.
During the Cleveland administra-
ton, there has been great deal Of
talk and reference to Jeffersonian
simplicity. Whether Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland affect this simplicity Of
this old time Democrat or not, their
every action has been admired for
its freedom from pr dc and ostenta-
ton. The affairs Of the White
House receive the personal attention
of the master and the mistress OF this
famous residence. Neither has per-
haps ever dreamed that the afore-
said Jefiersonian simplicity would
be forced upon them, as it is
intended by the good and sim
pie matrons OF Folsomville, n.
Y. They have conceived the
idea Of elevatiug one room in
the White House TO primitive Amer
icm furnishings and to that end
have woven a real rag carpet, pur.
chased a modern spinning wheel aud
an imitation corner clock and the
various necessaries TO complete the
picture. Mrs. Cleveland will be
forced to accept these gifts, but
whether they 70 toward furnishing
the room or filling the garrett, per-
haps only the initiated will know.
A Western judge recently created
amazement aud amusement as he APP
peared in court in swallow tail coat
aud RULED front. He was accused
OF various intentions, and to explain
his position, he stated that il was his
opinion that judges should have a
district uniform ordress, and this
came nearer his idea Of what it
should be. Forty years ago this was
the prescribed dress for the United
States Senate and that august body
presented the appearance OF a disni-
led gathering OF swells. There IL

peariug in This suit, which has been
prescribed by polite society-ior day

IL snot perhaps generally known
that the Prince OF Wales recently at
tempted TO abolish the present even
ing dress OF the gentlemen, which
has been pronounced the most be-
coming, at the same time most un-
civilized costume in the world.
The Princes efforts were not SEQ.
Onded BY fashionable society. So
the garb in which your waiter serves
you is still the dressiest costume
that enc can wear. In England,

recent party given ia London by
Lady Roseberry. the dress Of the
gentlemen was prescribed by the
hostess, and consisted OF frock or

aud silk stockings. As the guests
all appeared 10 this uniform the
change was novel and pleasing.

If this be true il must surely be
upon TIE principle Of "simila simili.

has gone through the experience, can
have any idea OF the eIhausting ma.
